I must say I've been pleased to see more long balls out from goal by Emi over the last few games

Was the Martinez mistake from passing poorly out of goal? If so, it was an error waiting to happen

Yes….. but she was sitting on the back row with a redhead. As a former teacher I predict it’s just a matter of time before it kicks off.

I’d split them up and bring one of them to the front.

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

β€œIn my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

Well I guess they could've changed the story to reflect the admission of responsibility by the letting agency... they had time.

.... but maybe they just didn't want to

Child sacrifice, you say.... could a journalist be sent to the gun lobby for a response?

That Overton Window slippage is not just political views but slides in tandem with standards of professional integrity

I'm certain she'll find she's not very 'culturally coherent' with me, based on her views. And I'm not going anywhere... so I guess it's on her to find a home.

Texas is nice this time of year, I hear...

Came across this. Relevant to certain parts of the world I can think of:

Not my words - those of Aldfrith, King of Northumbria 685-705 CE. Some truths endure; some leaders in the vast past had more insight and humanity than those who were given power hundreds of years later...

Ah, the major course book I bought in my first year at Lancaster university studying geography in 1976. A revolution in geographical thinking. Thank you for sharing this.

Could you check one... or even a trail of routes? And inspire others to follow in your footsteps?

I applaud @civixplorer for this delightful little bit of flag nonsense.

It's a valid point. But could also be the case that 3.5 years of this would lose the news hyping it has today - and then the 'news' will be how Reform is losing its lead in the polls as their policies (which are paper then atm) are subject to proper challenge

Oh God. The 'Brit Card'. Yet another flag-bedecked nod to the knuckle-draggers. Introduce an ID Card if you must, but spare us the jingoism.

Probably better than 'UK Card' (too many possibilities), but shouldn't it be referred to as a BRITNIC ? Asking for a friend in Derry.

It's not a feud: it's the London mayor responding with facts to the wild inaccuracies and slanderous slurs of the US President.

It's called 'setting the record straight'.

Sympathies here from the UK. You're right... but we had the same sense of despair when Boris Johnson was in charge.

At least his own party got rid of him.... hoping the GOP might get similar courage at some point.
